Soul of This Town

when you come back home boy

you're gonna be so surprised

this little town that you came from

has just left us behind

well they knocked down all the places

you and me would hang around

   

it's just bricks and stone skin and bone

but what about the soul of this town

      

did you see that big old high-rise

where Sonny's used to be

well he fought til it was high time

now he's in Sault Sainte Marie

Millie's tryin' to keep the diner

tryin hard not to drown

    

Its just bricks and stone, skin and bone

But what about the soul of this town

What about the soul of this town

they say they cleaned up all the projects

welcomed everyone to stay

and the rent keeps on rising

and pushing everybody away

how can it be with all that money

there's not enough to go around

   

it's just bricks and stone, skin and bone

but what about the soul of this town

what about the soul of this town

what about the soul of this town
